Four Indians who made us proud cracking into Time 100 includes the Prime Minister of largest democracy in the world Narendra Damodardas Modi, CEO of Microsoft Satya Nadella, CEO & MD of ICICI (India's largest private bank) Chanda Kochhar, and co-founder of the NGO Sangath Vikram Patel.
Mr. Naredra Modi made into TIMES 100, titled as India's reformer in-chief by none other than 44th President of United States Barack Obama. Obama describes Modi well in brief informing how Modi carved his way to the Prime Minister seat, though coming from a poor family background. Obama says,
As a boy, Narendra Modi helped his father sell tea to support their family. Today, he’s the leader of the world’s largest democracy, and his life story—from poverty to Prime Minister—reflects the dynamism and potential of India’s rise.It makes us proud to hear about our honorable Prime Minister from Barack Obama. Further about Modi he says,
Determined to help more Indians follow in his path, he’s laid out an ambitious vision to reduce extreme poverty, improve education, empower women and girls and unleash India’s true economic potential while confronting climate change. Like India, he transcends the ancient and the modern—a devotee of yoga who connects with Indian citizens on Twitter and imagines a “digital India.”
When he came to Washington, Narendra and I visited the memorial to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We reflected on the teachings of King and Gandhi and how the diversity of backgrounds and faiths in our countries is a strength we have to protect. Prime Minister Modi recognizes that more than 1 billion Indians living and succeeding together can be an inspiring model for the world.
Satya Nadella, recognized as a Titan and titled as The Turnaround Artist by CEO of Box, Aaron Levie. An Indian-American executive who became CEO of IT giant Microsoft, originated from Hyderabad in a Telugu speaking family. Describing him Levie says,
Satya Nadella is setting Microsoft up for greatness again. For decades, Microsoft had controlled the software world, but its grip slipped with the rise of mobile and cloud technologies. Though a longtime employee, Satya brought a fresh and almost revolutionary perspective to the CEO job, breaking with the past by building for new platforms first. In his short but impactful tenure, he has focused on driving openness where Microsoft was once closed, even when it has meant supporting competing services in the process. Changes that once would have been considered blasphemous—releasing open-source software, building on iOS and Android and even making Windows free in some cases—are turning Microsoft around. Satya is basically the star of one of those teen movies where the parents go out of town and the kid takes control of the place. And it’s been great .
Chanda Kochhar, identified as a Titan and titled as "A banker with vision and reach" by CEO of Deutche Bank, Anshu Jain. Yes, she's the same lady who made into Forbes 100 most powerful women in 2013. Drawing attention on Chanda Kochhar, holder of prestigious Padma Bhushan award Anshu says,
She has shaped retail banking in India ever since she assumed her pivotal role in establishing ICICI Bank during the 1990s. As managing director and CEO since 2009, she has brought India’s largest private bank a global vision and impressive returns, while also reaching out to the nation’s masses with branches in remote villages where banks simply didn’t exist.To show strength of this powerful lady, Anshu further quotes,
I have yet to find anything Chanda can’t do. She’s a first-class leader, strategist and friend.
Vikram Patel, identified as a pioneer and titled as "Well being-Warrior" described by Van Dahlen, a famous psychologist and the founder of Give an Hour. Throwing light on Vikram, Van says,
It is hard to imagine a more difficult challenge than addressing the unmet needs of those from resource-poor countries who live with and suffer from mental-health disorders. And yet Vikram Patel has spent his career doing just that. Some champions of the underserved have a handful of talents on which they rely to maintain their momentum and sustain their efforts. Fortunately for those who are the most vulnerable and the most misunderstood, Patel has many. He is a gifted psychiatrist, a dedicated researcher, a successful author of books and academic papers, and he is an effective communicator. In fact, he seems to have an unending supply of these critical skills. And as a co-founder of the NGO Sangath and the Centre for Global Mental Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, he helps spread the simple yet profound idea of mental health for all. He provides hope that mental illness and trauma make us neither weak nor unworthy of love and respect
